About Me

I found on my parents bookshelf in my mid-teens, I was intrigued but I couldn’t quite work out if I was doing it right from the hand drawn diagrams.

I didn’t make it to a yoga class until I found one at a local college in my early twenties. I knew I had found my thing. As a child I had loved moving my body – dancing, swimming, gymanstics, but I had drifted away from them as I got older. It was only when I started practicing yoga that I realised how disconnected I had become.  Through yoga, I began to reconnect with myself and really feel the physical sensations in my body, separate my thoughts and tune into my emotions. I was shocked to realise how numb and stuck in patterns of exhaustion and burnout I was, without the language or the skills to realise or get myself out of it. 

The combination of movement, meditation and learning how to rest is the medicine I’ve needed to live more of the time in my body rather than my head. This really helped my mental health. The more I was able to connect with myself – my body, thoughts and feelings – the more I realised how much I was holding on to.

It’s been almost 15 years since that first yoga class and in the intervening years I’ve studied many different styles with teachers all around the world leading to a rich and varied personal practice. Around 5 years in, I started to work increasingly with people who had experienced trauma, with that, and my own experiences, I became interested in the intersect between movement, neuroscience and psychology. Through this I discovered embodiment and somatics. This again transformed my relationships and had a profound influence in my work.

These practices have been a constant companion on this wild ride of life ever since. They have supported me through two births, several deaths and the many re-births. I have been able to release some of the patterns and experiences held in my body. Yoga and meditation have guided me into a closer relationship with myself but more than that, they have also helped me forge deeper relationships with others and come into closer connection with the natural rhythms of the earth. These practices help me to be more at ease, feel a sense of belonging and experience more of life.


I completed my initial 15 month teacher training in 2021 with Samavesa in Hatha yoga, Somatics and Embodiment grounded in the philosophy of Non-dual Tantra. I have a particular interest in women’s health and after having my first child, went on a deep dive into the often ignored and misunderstood realms of the core and pelvic floor. After the birth of my second child, I qualified  in pre and postnatal yoga. In addition to many years previous experience and training whilst working in the fields of mental health and social care, I am also qualified in offering trauma informed yoga. I also have additional training in Meditation and Yoga Nidra.

When I’m not practicing or facilitating I am usually mothering my two small children, often amongst the trees and always with waterproofs and a snack.
